The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has made two arrests in connection with an apparently antisemitic attack against diners on May 18. Whittier resident Xavier Pabon, 30, and Banning resident Samer Jayylusi, 35, were booked for assault with a deadly weapon with plans to seek additional charges for hate crimes in the coming days. Both suspects have been released on bail with future court dates in September.
“Thank you to LAPD Chief Michel Moore, our LAPD team, and all engaged law enforcement agencies who continue to work around the clock on this case,” Los Angeles City Councilmember Paul Koretz, in whose district the attack took place, said on Facebook.
